LVO On,
LVO Off
LVO On turns on Left Ventricular
Opacification. LVO Off turns off this
option.
Use LVO for cardiac exams in 2D
imaging mode when using an
imaging contrast agent. LVO lowers
the mechanical index (MI) of the
system to enhance visualization of
the contrast agent and endocardial
border.
This option depends on transducer
and exam type.
Orientation Select from four image orientations:
U/R (Up/Right), U/L (Up/Left), D/L
(Down/Left), D/R (Down/Right).
Brightness Adjusts the display brightness.
Settings range from 1 to 10.
The display brightness affects
battery life. To conserve battery life,
adjust brightness to a lower setting.

This feature depends on transducer
type. See the SonoSite Biopsy user
guide.

MB On and MB Off turn SonoMB™
multi-beam imaging technology on
and off. When SonoMB is on, MB
appears in the upper left-hand
